Introducing a groundbreaking approach from the inside out to CSPM, this release empowers organizations to tailor posture rules precisely to their unique environments, threat models and business contexts.​

Upwind, the next-generation runtime-powered cloud security provider, announced today at RSA the launch of its enhanced inventory and posture modules. This release makes Upwind the first CSPM that automatically prioritizes posture-based risk based on real-world runtime usage. Upwind’s new capability allows security teams to build custom posture rules and frameworks using live production data, not just static best practices – a breakthrough in how organizations define, detect and enforce cloud security at scale.

Cloud environments are exploding in complexity – and so is the risk surface. Yet most posture tools flood security teams with best-practice alerts without showing real exploitability. Traditional frameworks miss how risks combine in practice to create real attack paths.

“As CNAPP becomes the standard for cloud security, posture management must fundamentally change,” said Amiram Shachar, founder and CEO, Upwind. “Upwind sets a new bar for what cloud security posture and inventory should be – dynamic, deeply contextual, and built to keep pace with the real complexity of modern cloud environments.”

Upwind's new runtime-powered CSPM enhancements arm security teams with unprecedented control over cloud risk. Teams can now define custom posture rules based on live production context, build dynamic posture frameworks tailored to real-world threats, instantly surface and prioritize violations, and command a centralized view of posture risk with a CISO-level reporting dashboard. Together, these innovations don't just improve posture management. They make it a real-world defense system, focused on fixing what matters most, faster.

“At Upwind, we’ve re-architected CSPM around real-world behavior, not just static scans – going broader and deeper than legacy platforms,” said Joshua Burgin, chief product officer, Upwind. “By embedding runtime telemetry into posture management, we give security teams the precision to prioritize what’s actually exposed and stay ahead of threats– not by just checking boxes, but fixing real risks before they escalate.”
